    It is clear that brooks is just an insurance policy. Useful when someone is hurt.

    Brooks need to develop a Nate Robinson game. He's way to diminutive to be a legit NBA 1... Brooks has to bulk him yet maintain his speed and athleticism.. After his current contract is up, I think he will be forced to play overseas or retire. Just way too much of a liability on defense due to his size.

    Harden played great defense tonight. Both our stars came out and set the tone early on that end. Two more threes go in for harden and he shoots 50% and scores 28. I'm really impressed with the way the team is playing with Dwight as the focal point. I like him and harden to get about 20 shots a piece. The way Lin played off the bench is exactly what we need he was aggressive and played his game. Parsons and jones didn't have their best games but the big two scored over 45 points combined and that's usually a good receipt for a win. If we can play this way every game and against the good teams were on god shape because know team has a Howard/Harden combo.

    Wow. People criticize Lin for not being aggressive and then they criticize him for missing shots on a night when he shoots over 50% from the field. From reading this board, one might think he was the primary scorer and starter on the team and that Harden was a mere role player.

    He is there when scoring is needed. His contribution to the team is underrated.

    Yes very high expectation for a bench player. It is good for him.

    A lot of people say Lin is just average, but the huge discrepancy is that these same people also seem to have super high expectations of him as well.

    When they go on scoring droughts, he will be available off the bench.Not just when they get injured.

    This team can win a championship if their threes start falling.

    Edit: maybe just the conference finals :)

    Didn't get to watch the game. Was it that bad or just the Bucks playing well?

    Brooks should play whenever a buzzer-beater 3 is needed. He makes them more often than not :).
